Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
" Then up with the banner,
let Southern breezes fan her,
It shall float o'er Columbia for ever more,
In glory we'll sustain her,
in battle defend her,
With heart and with hand like our fathers before. "
The 17th Infantry, the celebrated "Stonewall regiment, " was rendezvoused at Detroit under orders dated May 29th, 1862, from which the two following paragraphs are taken:
I. The War Department having called upon the Governor of this State for another regiment of infantry, to serve for three years, or during the war, unless sooner discharged, the 17th Regiment Michigan Infantry will be organized as soon as a sufficient number of companies have volunteered.
